OurNigeria award exposes awardees to robust responsibilities —Publisher

The Publisher of OurNigeria News Magazine, Dr Mohammed Abubakar, says the rationale behind OurNigeria Award is to unveil and showcase men of timber and caliber and give them more responsibilities in their assignments for the growth and development of Nigeria.
Dr Abubabar made this statement on Sunday at the 2023 edition of OurNigeria Awards held at the Abuja International Conference Center.
He said that leadership crisis was one of the challenges that had hindered progress and unity in the country, stressing that it was the reason that informed the decision of the media outfit to use platforms like awards to encourage well-meaning Nigerians to contribute their own quota to the country.
According to Abubakar, the media organization decided to use events like awards ceremonies to present and highlight men of character and strength who might be recognized and given additional responsibility in their work.

He added that the fact that several of the recipients of earlier editions’ awards had received the National Honour from former President Muhammadu Buhari proved that their honors were merited.
The security expert said that value addition is the key to everything and that hard effort and diligence are the paths to excellence rather than finding it on the streets.
“So whenever you see excellence, treasure it, celebrate it, and honor it and that is the whole idea behind this very award.
“It is all about identifying excellence, identifying people who are adding value, and then you celebrate them and encourage them so that they will do more,” he said.
